> okay, let me ask the clueless question here ...
> ... what would be fun for you to do?
I try all the time to answer this question for myself. It's a tough one. Simple, but tough. It all really depends so much on mood. In the right mood, almost *anything* CAN be fun. Well, maybe not some things.... But I think just simple things like going out to eat, or staying home and eating, playing card/board games. I've always for the most part really liked playing (most) sports and the camaraderie of a team, provided it's small enough to allow for some degree of closeness and comfort (at least in my case). Those have actually been some of my most fun times was with various teams. But I don't have any team now. Plus, I feel like I'm not in good shape and the motivation factor is a problem. I really want to start exercising again but just haven't been able to get myself to do it. I feel so lazy and lethargic and inert. UGH!
> ... can fun happen under imaginary circumstances?
Imaginary circumstances? Do you mean, can I have fun in my mind sort of thing?
> ... how about go to a comedy club for laughs?
Maybe. Don't know of any around here. Could look into it, and try to find people to go with.
> .... or a movie?
Movies can be okay, much better to go with someone else though. They can be a bit on the pricey side these days, so I try to limit to things that I really want to see.
> ... or rent a video?
Same thing as going, except cheaper! It's a bit of a problem right now though with the current state of my apartment - one of my new roomates has a vcr, I have a tv, but we don't have much living room furniture so we haven't got that stuff set up comfortably.
> ... if i was there, what would i have to do to make you laugh?
Tell me funny stories, joke around with me.
> ... to entertain you?
I don't know, but I'm imagining you putting on some kind of show or something, the way this sounds. You could play your guitar. You could teach me some stuff about buddhism and/or meditation (I just put mediCation accidently - guess I get so used to typing that! - they're practically the same word though... interesting).
I think that there are several main issues in my lack of fun: not many people to do stuff with; don't have the motivation/initiative to do stuff on my own and usually just decide that it's not worth it or I don't feel like it; general depression which often can make it hard to enjoy things anyway.
It's just such a struggle. Sometimes (often, actually), I just can't believe that this is really my life.
